VIDEO: How is this idiot on the road? This is why Russia's roads are so deadly

DEATH WISH: The car on the right has just completed a full circle before boucningh the car on the left into fast oncoming traffic [CEN]

One ill-judged flit across a busy road causes a chain of events that turn a busy road into a demolition derby.

Driving is so dangerous in Russia that many cars are fitted with dashboard-mounted cameras.

Tikhon Gorshkov caught this action on his dash-cam when a driver pulled out of a road in Krasnodar, a city in western Russia, hoping to reach the junction on the other side.

But his exit was suddenly blocked by a vehicle which appeared in the way.

In the end the driver, seeing his chance of exiting safely was nil, kept turning on the wheel of his car, finally performing a full circle - before he was rammed by a car obeying all the normal traffic rules.

“It was a destruction derby and all because this one guy was impatient to get across two lanes of traffic.”

The impact of the collision flipped the car into oncoming traffic, causing it to smash into another vehicle.

Gorshkov said: "It was a destruction derby and all because this one guy was impatient to get across two lanes of traffic."

Luckily no-one was seriously hurt in this incident, which is not the case usually in Russia.

It is named as one of the deadliest places on earth to drive with over 25,000 people dying in road accidents every year, many of them pedestrians.

A police spokesman said: "It seems that the driver who wanted to cross the carriageway is at fault. Our enquiries are continuing. We are grateful for the video footage because that goes a long way towards explaining what happened here."
